Someone will be inside Poe's Tavern demonstrating how to cook over an open fire using cast iron cookware and there will be a display of coal mining relics from the Soddy, Daisy and Montlake areas.
Someone will be quilting the old fashion way by hand and there will be basket making and whittling of walking sticks which can be used along the Cumberland Trail or walking Big Soddy Gulch.
